Care for all God's Children

As a Christian, I support health care reform because God calls me to care for my neighbor and to seek justice.

As a husband, I support health care reform because my 26-year-old wife was denied health insurance coverage because of childhood operations.

As a friend, I support health care reform because I have friends who have had to gamble with their lives and their livelihoods because they could not afford health insurance.

As an American, I support health care reform because I value life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick.

Will you join me in working to ensure that quality and affordable health care will be an option not just for some but for all of God's children?
